From Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, General Colin Powell, actress Linda Carter, Warren Buffet, to numerous Nobel Peace, Pullitzer and Guggenheim winners and global prominent leaders in business, politics, arts and entertainment, sports, government and science, Marquis Who’s Who has remained the standard for reliable and comprehensive biographical data since 1898.

With a stringent selection criteria, the editorial team of 70, including 12 researchers, make the call on whose notable and who’s not. The selection of individuals for listing in its publications "is based on reference value. Individuals become eligible for listing by virtue of their positions and/or noteworthy achievements that have proved to be of significant value to society. An individual's desire to be listed is not sufficient reason for inclusion. Similarly, wealth or social position are not criteria. Purchase of the book is never a factor in the selection of biographies" [Wikepedia]

Thank you to the editorial team of Marquis for selecting me to be in your exclusive group of outstanding individuals. (April 7, 2026)
